Those of you who run responsive foundry or reseller sites: about what percentage of your business comes from people buying licenses through their phones? through their tablets?
Many thanks!

Four of our last 1000 sales were from mobile phones or tablets.
Our site is adaptive / responsive throughout, but we definitely didn’t invest the last 10% (that are more like 50% of the work) for the shop’s front end code to make everything absolutely perfectly looking for mobile devices, but it works and people can use it, it seems.8 -
Thanks, Thierry.0

Max, I'm not in the business of selling fonts (yet), but I have built many commercial websites over the years. The general mantra for web design is mobile first, but given that a type designers primary client is likely to be a graphic designer/typographer/web designer, they're most likely to be using a desktop.
I'd concur with Therry, make your site responsive, use flexible measurements throughout (em/%/vw/vh) and float all the major site elements. Thats will solve most issues. You might want to pay some attention to the navigation for mobiles/tablets, but that isn't a big issue and can be easily handled by a media query.0
